The Long Awaited Trip, a Day or Two at a Time

We got to South Dakota and visited the Corn Palace on Saturday. It was so much better than remembered it. The theme of the murals this year is Rodeo 2007. Each year the theme changes and the murals are replaced with new ones. A designer plans each picture and makes a similar template to a paint by number. There are twelve colors of corn that are used plus some grasses. Amazing that they can do so much with so little. The corn palace began when the people from Mitchell wanted to put the city on the map in addition to wishing to prove that something would grow in South Dakota.
